The L.A. Galaxy are the scariest team in MLS

The Los Angeles Galaxy are currently riding a four-game winning streak, are two points out of first place in the Western Conference, and are 6-1-1 since July 28.

Landon Donovan announced that he was retiring at the end of this year a little over three weeks ago. Since then, Donovan has scored three goals and added three assists in four matches. We’re hitting critical Landon Donovan mass, and the Galaxy are finding their form just in time for the MLS playoffs.

On Sunday the Galaxy beat up on their StubHub Center roommate Chivas USA, putting together another dazzling display that confirmed what many people were beginning to suspect in August.

The Galaxy are currently the scariest team in MLS.

Consider L.A.’s first goal.

There are six Chivas defenders keyed in on Donovan as he waltzes through the midfield relatively uncontested, and no one seems to notice Gyasi Zardes casually drifting wide. Zardes bangs home an impressive one-time finish, but it’s Donovan who creates the space for the striker.

The second was a piece of inspired individual class from Robbie Keane. Robbie Keane is 34-years-old, and when he’s surrounded by a cast including Donovan, Juninho, Marcelo Sarvas, and Robbie Rogers, he appears to be 28.

The final goal is the most terrifying of all. Terrifying, because Chivas simply had no idea what was happening to them. Watch the goal, watch Chivas, watch goalkeeper Dan Kennedy fish the ball out of the net. None of them understands how it happened, none of them saw it coming, and most impressively, every Galaxy player involved in the goal was on the same page.

The chemistry is undeniable and the timing couldn’t be better. The Galaxy are pacing towards a very good fall, and it doesn’t seem like anyone is capable of stopping them.
